"The ride we just went on -- we went upside down and sideways, so I emptied all my pockets before I got on," she said.

It wasn't the only precaution she took.

"We prepped the stroller ourselves and tried to make sure everything was zippered up," she said.

But many of the recovered items will go unclaimed, police say.

"If items aren't claimed in a certain amount of time, they are auctioned off or destroyed, whatever the city ordinance allows," Lt. Scott Bratcher said.

Sunday is the last day of the fair and the last day to claim lost property.
